<p>JOKING!!!</p>

<p>To answer your questions:</p>

<p>No I have not been contacted, I did get all three e-mails but thats it. I don’t think my references have been contacted but I haven’t really asked any of them.</p>

<p>I applied for the Communications Office so I am guessing that was a popular one and thus not a terribly terrific idea. </p>

<p>OFA has openings a plenty and you should definitely apply, but they are all over the country. I talked to the head of it today (Ohio Election Director Jeremy Bird is like in charge of everything so I got lucky) and the woman who is running the internships said that there are only a few positions left that are actually in DC and they are in the DNC office so who knows.</p>

<p>I am getting frustrated because there are like 4 kids at my school that applied and the other guys don’t seem nervous at all. Granted they didn’t drop out of school and move into a supporter house for 3 months for Obama so its probably not as big of a deal to them</p>

<p>Anyway, I meant what I said, good luck to all of you.</p>

<p>PS,</p>

<p>George Dubya, you mentioned Olberman last night, the first “worst person in the world” the guy that turned down the stimulus funds, that was my Region during the election. Southwest Ohio, Reddest of the Red. John Bohener is actually my congressman at school, and Sen. Mike Dewine teaches here.</p>

<p>Is this Battle of the “Who can find the most relevant song?” If so, I recommend: </p>

<p>Hey Merry:</p>

<p>I applied for the same office as well, and yes lived in supporter housing form three months during the summer</p>

<p>Where you an Organizing Fellow? I was. One of the best experiences of my life!!! I’m looking forward to more!!!</p>

<p>Merry Frankster</p>

<p>ewwwwwww…lol…i bet im REDDER! im from Alabama…congressman Bachus has a list of 17 Socialists…remember? hahah</p>

<p>I know we’ve moved on from this but i just wanted to comment…</p>

<p>America is a great country, but criticism is important and key to reform. However, i think its hard for many Americans to accept that…it seems like it’s much easier to criticize people who criticize the country (for example, both Obama and Michelle were questioned about their “Americaness” during the campaign). Their is no doubt that the history of this country is dark. This country has stepped on A LOT of people to get where it is…not just one generation…but very many. And it is not over…people from disadvantaged groups continue to suffer altered forms of racism, classism, and sexism that are often institutionalized… but now the key is to keep it on the hush b/c that is how injustice continues unfortunately…and so it survives.</p>

<p>You know what they say Jim Crow is still alive he’s just more polished and has a desk job in the United States Department of Justice…</p>

<p>…but Eric Holder is hot on his trail…Smoke 'em out his whole Eric!</p>

<p>hahaha…very very true.</p>

<p>…and Obama if I don’t make it I want you to know one thing [YouTube</a> - I Will Always Love You Whitney Houston Video The Bodyguard](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19rC-Fl-KwM]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19rC-Fl-KwM)</p>

<p>to make it worse, many injustices fly under the flag of religion…</p>

<p>it wasnt too long ago that slavery was ok, even for the best of Christians/Muslim…I dont think Jews were ever in a position to have slaves since they themselves were once slaves.</p>

<p>my point is, is that the world become a toxic place when we let religion dictate public policy</p>

<p>(ps: i am a “believer” as they would say here in alabama, but still pluralist:) )</p>

<p>there are people today that believe that poor people are poor because they are damned…do not have God’s grace…are weak believers…if they truly were loved, they would be ok…really sad :(</p>

<p>Preach!!! dubya!!!</p>

<p>It is amazing to see what passes for religion. I don’t think that is religion that has taken over countries…it is a polluted mindset that is disguised as religion.</p>

<p>This is really sad b/c then groups who pracitce those religions end up being discriminated against b/c of a couple of people’s actions.</p>

<p>haha, I like to study religion in my spare time…Abrahamic Religions, Hunduism, etc.</p>

<p>I am a HindoChristmusjewslim hahah a hybrid of those religions lol</p>

<p>ok, im crazy, official lol</p>

<p>dee22</p>

<p>so awfully true</p>

<p>i like the idea of reincarnation…karma…haha ;p</p>

<p>lol…im with you on the reincarnation and karma. I could see that creating some social change…</p>
